"This is a classic reissue of the 1978 edition.As power systems continue to grow in size and complexity, it becomes increasingly important to understand system stability to prevent dynamic collapse and possible blackout. This book illustrates synchronous generators and their prime movers and controls as well as extensive mathematical modeling of these important items. This book is a must-have for professionals in the electric power industry as well as engineering students."

This book is the fully revised and updated second edition of Power System Dynamics and Stability published in 1997. The modified title Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control reflects a slight shift in focus from solely describing power system dynamics to the means of dealing with them. Power System Dynamics: Stability and Control, Second Edition is an essential resource for graduates of electrical engineering. It is also a clear and comprehensive reference text for undergraduate students, and for practising engineers and researchers who are working in electricity companies or in the development of power system technologies.

Authors: Kwatny, Harry G., Miu-Miller, KarenIntroduces new concepts that have recently emerged in response to many of the issues facing power system operation todayEmphasis is placed on applying presented ideas to improve our understanding of power system behavior and help design better control systemsA Mathematica package supplements the book, enabling readers to work out nontrivial examples and problems. A set of Mathematica tutorial notebooks with detailed solutions of the worked examples is also included

This book answers the need for a practical, hands–on guide for assessing power stability in real time, rather than in offline simulations. Since the book is primarily geared toward the practical aspects of the subject, theoretical background is reduced to the strictest minimum.
